On Xiaogu Mountain, Zhou Long's eyes were bloodshot, looking at the row of matrices he had never seen before. Although he took the initiative to enter the trap of the other party, the loss really made Zhou Long resentful. Even if he knew that this was a trap and a trap, Zhou Long still lost more than 2,000 brothers. Thanks to the fact that they used empty horses first, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

At the foot of the small lonely mountain, rows of matrices are closely connected, and behind the matrices are crossbowmen. Zhou Long and the others, who had lost their war horses, would pay an extremely heavy price if they wanted to break out of a bloody road.

Fei Dezheng, the general of Western Vietnam, looked at Xiaogushan excitedly, this elite army in the capital city made it impossible for their hundreds of thousands of troops to catch up with Mawei. Unexpectedly, today he was trapped on the small lonely mountain by his tens of thousands of soldiers.

As soon as the sky brightened, the news that Duan Lang was trapped in Xiaogushan immediately spread to the Xiyue camp. When Han Pingzi and Lu Mu learned the news, the two of them excitedly immediately led their own troops to Xiaogushan.

Looking at the small lonely mountain with rich trees, Han Pingzi asked, "General Fei, how was the battle yesterday?" ”

Fei Dezheng said excitedly, "Han Shuai, Duan Lang wanted to raid from here last night, but he underestimated my Xiyue Infantry Guard. In this battle, more than 20,000 horses were captured and more than 3,000 enemy horses were killed. However, Duan Lang was extremely fierce, and after being injured, he led the remnants to escape to Xiaogu Mountain. ”

Han Pingzi was slightly stunned, "Only more than 20,000 war horses?" Didn't they say that there were nearly 30,000 of them? In addition, such an ambush only killed more than 3,000 people? ”

Han Pingzi didn't know that Fei Dezheng had exaggerated the number of casualties.

Without waiting for Fei Dezheng to speak, Lu Mu explained with a smile, "Han Shuai, this is normal. If it is an ordinary person, it can at least make the other party lose more than 10,000. However, the soldiers and horses led by Duan Lang were fierce, and the loss of more than 3,000 people was very heavy for them. As for the number of war horses, when they attacked the city at night that day, although they fled in a hurry. But many of the horses were shot and seriously wounded. It is estimated that some people are multiplied by two. ”

Lu Mu's explanation made Han Pingzi eliminate the doubts in his heart. To be able to wipe out Duan Lang's elite, the purpose of this trip has been achieved for them.

"Order, Zhang Zhanchao led an army of 100,000 to come, and must kill Duan Lang and others in Xiaogu Mountain." Han Pingzi ordered.

Lu Muyi raised his hand, "Han Shuai is slow, although Duan Lang and these people are powerful, but losing their war horses is like a tiger without minions." Even if they were able to force their way out, it would not be a matter of concern, and only a few thousand cavalry would be needed to chase them down. If we forcibly attack at this time, in the face of the desperate counterattack of the trapped beasts, the losses of our army will definitely not be small. It is better to trap them first, there is a shortage of water and food on the mountain, and after two days, the combat effectiveness can drop to about half. In addition, Duan Lang is trapped, and our army can just go all out to take Lidu City. This is God help me, and there will be no natural danger in the western part of Great Xia to stop my Western Vietnamese army. ”

Han Pingzi thought for a while and said, "Lu Mu, Duan Lang is a thorn in my heart, if I don't eradicate it immediately, Ben Shuai is still a little worried." ”

Fei Dezheng said, "Han Shuai, rest assured, when the melee last night, Duan Lang was already seriously injured. Although it was noisy at that time, the soldiers and horses of Lidu City panicked to protect Duan Lang, which can be assured. ”

Han Pingzi was still a little uneasy in his heart, and said to Fei Dezheng, "Shouting to Xiao Gushan, just say that Ben Shuai wants to talk to Duan Lang." If he can descend to my Xiyue, Ben Shuai promised him the official title of three or more. ”

Lu Mu and Fei Dezheng knew that Han Pingzi wanted to verify it personally, and Fei Dezheng immediately walked in front of the matrix and shouted at Xiao Gushan.

"This general is Fei Dezheng, the general of Xiyue, my family is handsome and you Duan Lang is a talent, so you can leave a way to live. Duan Lang, my handsome family is here, please come forward to talk. ”

On the small lonely mountain, among the trees behind the rocks, the brothers of the capital of the Eight Thousand Calendar were strictly guarded. Hearing the shout, Zhou Long stood up from behind a rock.

Xiyue Xiao'er listened, Zhou Long, the general of the capital city in the next calendar. My handsome family disdains to talk to thieves such as you, and if you have the ability, you will attack it. My family Duan Shuai said that Xiaogushan is the place where you are buried. ”

Lu Mu and Han Pingzi looked at Zhou Long, whose angry face was a little distorted, the two glanced at each other, and Lu Mu said.

"Han Shuai, it seems that this Lang injury is not light. Otherwise, he would never hide and dare not show his face. ”

Han Pingzi nodded, "General Fei, if the other party attacks with all his might, can you be sure to stop it?" ”

Fei Dezheng said confidently, "Han Shuai, rest assured, a group of cavalry who have lost their war horses will not want to break through from my encirclement." Even if they hit one place with all their might, few of them could get out alive. When the time comes, they will chase and kill with all their might, and they will not be able to escape. ”

Han Pingzi was ruthless in his heart, "Okay, since this is the case, then proceed according to the original plan." It is best to win the capital city, even if they can't take it, they must never dare to step into the territory of my Landu City again. Fei Dezheng, this commander ordered you to strictly guard against it, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Han Shuai rest assured, he will guarantee that he will never let Duan Lang leave Xiaogushan alive."

Han Pingzi patted Fei Dezheng excitedly, if Duan Lang can be trapped in Xiaogu Mountain, the West Vietnamese army has no worries behind it, and he can give it a go against Lidu City.

In the capital city, when Mingyue saw the news sent by Duan Lang, she couldn't help but curse again and again. For Duan Lang's risky behavior, Yutai Mingyue was both worried and helpless. Whether Zhou Long took the risk instead of Duan Lang, or Duan Lang did it himself, she didn't want to see any loss from this elite.

Yutai Mingyue immediately summoned the generals to inquire about the trap arrangement. Knowing that all the camps are in place, all that is left is the trap layout and forgery on the road. Yutai Mingyue hurriedly ordered the generals to hurry up, because she knew that Duan Lang was trapped in Xiaogu Mountain, and the Western Vietnamese army was likely to launch an offensive in advance.

On the city wall, Tangtai Mingyue and Zhang Qifeng looked at the murderous Xiyue camp opposite, and Tangtai Mingyue asked softly.

"General Zhang, if I'm not mistaken, the other side is likely to launch a large-scale siege today. Are you ready? ”

"The military adviser can rest assured that all the officers and men of the new army battalion will act in accordance with the plan of the military division."

"Well, there are no other requirements, but the battalion of the new army must hold out until the afternoon. Due to the tight schedule, some of the traps in the city were crudely camouflaged. As soon as the sun set in the west, and then pretended to be defeated, the people of Xiyue would not find out about some of the arrangements in the city. It's just that this kind of persistence is a test for your new army battalion. It is even said that the casualties will be very heavy. Tantai Mingyue said worriedly.

Zhang Qifeng's face was grim, and he said firmly, "The two armies are facing each other, and it is impossible to have no casualties. As long as the Western Vietnamese army can be defeated, even if all the battalions of our new army are put into it, the last general will not complain. Everyone wants to live, but the price of living is that someone must use blood to extinguish the flames of war. If the last general dies in battle, please avenge us! ”

"General Zhang, don't say this, this army division is at the back gate, waiting for you to return."

"Xie Junshi Jiyan."

While the two were talking, they heard three cannon shots from the camp opposite, and a group of men and horses rushed out of the camp and lined up outside the city. When Tantai Mingyue saw the formation listed by the other party, she knew that her guess was completely consistent, and Han Pingzi and Lu Mu launched a large-scale offensive a day in advance. What Mingyue is most worried about now is whether the new army can hold out until Shen Shi. If it can't even hold out at noon and be defeated, the rough layout of the city will be easily seen through by the Western Vietnamese soldiers. In case Lu Mu took the city gate and did not attack madly, it would be an extremely tragic disaster for the entire Lidu City.

Under the city gate, Lu Mu, who had just come back, came to the front of the battle and shouted loudly to the city.

"Mingyue Military Division, you said that you would give the next surprise in three days. But I'm a little anxious and want to know what this surprise is. In addition, there is a surprise below, I don't know if you want to hear it. ”

Tantai Mingyue sneered, "Lu Mu, I said that I would surprise you in three days." But now that there is still one day left before the promise of the day, why be in such a hurry. ”

Lu Muhaha laughed a few times, "Mingyue Military Division, I am not interested in hearing your surprise now." However, my surprise will surprise you. ”

"Oh? I don't know Mr. Lu, what's the surprise? Tantai Mingyue asked pretending not to know.

Lu Mu looked at Tantai Mingyue with a sneer, and deliberately shouted loudly, "Your husband Jun Duan Lang has been invited to be a guest. But your husband is very strong and very uncooperative. ”

Tantai Mingyue's face turned cold, "Lu Mu, what do you mean by this." ”

"Hehe, to put it bluntly, Duan Lang's tens of thousands of horses have been trapped in Xiaogu Mountain by my Xiyue army. If you want to save him, then come out and fight against our Western Vietnamese army. Otherwise, don't blame you for not being emotional. Oh, by the way, Duan Lang has been seriously injured, and it is difficult to say whether he will be alive or not. ”

Lu Mu's words suddenly made the guards in the city look frightened and angry. These guards didn't know that it was Duan Lang's plan, and they thought that the elite of Lidu City was really trapped.

Tantai Mingyue also pretended to be angry, "Lu Mu, if my husband is missing a hair, this army will definitely wash your entire Xiyue with blood." Come on, release the arrows! ”

Whoosh~ A row of arrows rained down on Lu Mu. How could Lu Mu's distance be exactly a stone's throw away, looking at the angry and panicked appearance in the city, Lu Mu laughed and returned to the camp.

As soon as the war drums sounded, all the catapults of the West Vietnamese battalion were dispatched. It's different from previous days. At the same time as the catapult attacked, the 100,000 West Vietnamese army followed the ladder to the city and frantically flocked to the capital city.

A big battle broke out, and the moon retreated. A maid dressed in the same style as Mingyue took several men dressed in war generals to the handsome platform above the city. From a distance, the capital city is still the bright moon of the capital and the generals came to the battlefield in person.

The fierce attacks of the Western Vietnamese army in round after round caused heavy losses to the new army camp in the city. After holding on for a few hours, the corners of the main general Zhang Qifeng's eyes burst into bloodshots.

"General, there are only 40,000 soldiers and horses in reserve, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it if it continues like this." Adjutant General Geng Zhishan said worriedly.

Zhang Qifeng looked at the sky, there was still an hour before the sunset of Shenshi, gritted his teeth and said, "Mobilize all the reserve men and horses, even if all the new army battalions are damaged in battle, you must hold on until the sunset of Shenshi." ”

The muscles on Geng Zhishan's face trembled, "No! ”

Zhang Qifeng was also very helpless, looking at the wounded soldiers who were constantly being carried down in the city, the entire battalion was almost all on top. If this continues, even if it can hold out until sunset, I am afraid that there will be very few people left in the large battalion of the new army who can fight.

In the Western Vietnamese camp, Han Pingzi personally commanded, and seeing the situation of the stalemate up and down the city wall, the experienced Han Pingzi knew that the most important thing now was to persevere. As long as there is a slight rout on the other side, it will spread to the entire army.

"Order Jiang Quan to lead his troops to take the initiative on the right side of the city wall, where the battle is a little weak." Han Pingzi gave instructions while observing.

In the capital, all the people and those who helped were evacuated from the city. On the tall tower erected at the back gate, the bright moon waited until the sunset gradually set, and the whole earth was covered with a layer of twilight.

"Almost, hold on to half a pillar of incense for a while." Yutai Mingyue prayed, and the news from the front that she knew that Zhang Qifeng's new army camp had done its best.

When the last trace of colorful glow disappeared from the sky, Yutai Mingyue immediately ordered to send a signal to evacuate.

Outside the city gate, after most of the day's decisive battle, Han Pingzi, Lu Mu and others were also a little exhausted, not to mention the soldiers who went to the city to fight. Seeing the sun setting in the west, Han Pingzi was about to give the order to withdraw his troops. Suddenly, he saw that Jiang Quan actually led his troops to kill a gap on the city wall. As the gap spread, the soldiers and horses of the city's capital began to flee in large numbers.

Han Pingzi and Lu Mu were in good spirits and immediately ordered an all-out siege of the city. After a while, the shouts of killing in the city only left the accent of the Western Vietnamese army, and when night fell, the gates of the capital city were finally opened by the guards who rushed in.

Han Pingzi's body shook and shouted loudly, "Order, Zhang Zhanchao, Chen Gongbao, lead the cavalry to immediately enter the city to chase and kill." Ordered Jiang Gan to lead his own barracks and all the reserve men and horses to enter the city with his commander. ”

Lu Mu stood on top of the chariot excitedly, and after a day of bloody battles, he finally took the capital city. After this battle, it not only solved the difficult bone of Lidu City, but also completely opened the passage for Xiyue to enter the Forte of Great Xia.

In the capital city, Zhang Qifeng, who was covered in blood, led the remnants of the new army battalion to evacuate quickly. As soon as the city gate opened, the cavalry of the Western Vietnamese army rushed in frantically.

On the tower of the back city gate, Mingyue closed her eyes slightly, she was waiting for the news ahead. After a while, a strange whistle sounded. Yutai Mingyue Meimu suddenly argued, she knew that the other party's men and horses had entered the ambush circle. It seems that Han Pingzi and Lu Mu did not find out that this was a death trap.

"Order, major battalions, start a counteroffensive~!"

As soon as the military order of the bright moon of the platform was given, a loud horn sounded on the tower of the city gate behind the capital city. The darkness of the early night obscured some of the rough arrangements. Among the seemingly inconspicuous houses on both sides of the road, within the walls. Spears and scythes quietly stretched out.

On the pavement, thick ropes hidden in the dirt began to pull the traps that had been laid out long ago.
